Join us at 8:00PM in the Sanctuary on Wednesday, December 24 for our annual Christmas Eve Communion & Candlelight worship service. Continuing with our Advent them "What do you fear?" from A Sanctified Art, the theme of the evening is "Good News is Louder Than Fear."
The Christmas season can be filled with saccharine images of Mary, meek and mild, with a quiet, sleepy Jesus in her arms. But the host of angels shouts to the skies, “Glory to God in the highest!” What would it look like for us to proclaim the good news loudly, with overflowing joy? In a world that weaponizes fear, where algorithms decide what gets weight, what gets circulated, and what takes up space, let us be disruptive with our joy. Let us be loud and unruly, amplifying the good news like the shepherds running into the streets of Bethlehem. In a world where good news never feels loud enough to drown out fear, let us shout with the angels, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace!” Nothing beats A VC Holiday! Join Vocal Confluence for its annual holiday show, "A VC Holiday - A Cappella Sounds of the Season." Featuring our all-voice barbershop chorus as well as many talented small groups, there is sure to be something for everyone to enjoy.
Shows are Saturday, December 13 at 7:30PM and Sunday, December 14 at 3:00PM in the FPCE Sanctuary. In the spirit of the holiday season, we will once again be offering the Pay What You Can ticketing model. Donations are greatly appreciated at the door, but no advanced tickets will be sold. Seating will be first-come, first-served. Don't forget to follow us on all social media platforms for all updates on this incredible holiday tradition! The Edgewood Symphony Orchestra’s annual holiday concert will take place here at First Presbyterian Church of Edgewood on Saturday night, December 6 at 7:30PM. Always a favorite among residents, magical surprises await you in this joyful concert featuring the ESO debut of soprano Chantal Braziel. And, of course, no holiday celebration would be complete without a visit from dear old Santa! More information and a link to tickets for this concert, and all of this season’s concerts, are at www.edgewoodsymphony.org.
